| Abstract |
| The common clays, namely blue clay and yellow clay from Kerala
and red clay and black clay from Morbi, Gujarat have been selected
for studying their physico-chemical properties which involve chemical
analysis, plasticity test, particle size analysis, X-ray ditlractometry,
drying and firing characteristics, rational analysis etc. The results
indicate that for both regions, it is not possible to make tiles or other
products by using one type of clay alone. A combination of both the
clays available in the same region can impart appropriate properties
conducive to satisfactory production. |
